O.T.
to those of you who are having a tough time thru these holidays ( been there where you are ) and i know that unfortunately many of our family members here are going to have it rough :
I send my strength to you .IMHO ....do something different ,take a drive ,go to a movie ,go out for dinner vs .having the sadness of the holiday at home ,surround yourself with people who understand and can laugh with you ,or make you laugh !
Do something for an elderly family friend ,or any friend that you dont have to do ,get the focus off yourself and when you need to grieve ..go ahead and let yourself .It will get better and we love you here too.
I was "forced " to go ahead with christmas one year when a parent had passed .My son understood ,but nobody else .
I needed to grieve ,not put on airs .I should have demanded that time as mine .While this technique of coping will work for some of you ,it will not work for all .I wanted to just "be " and that would have been ok .
Just remember ,if you are in this space take YOUR time on your terms ,do what YOU need to do .
I had to write this .....because i know how it feels .xo loves

Thanks for saying that. This is the second Christmas season without my dad. And the anniversary of his suicide is New Year's Eve. (Thanks Dad for forever ruining my new year's eve :p)

Hugs to everyone !

Morning folks!

Good luck with those wisdom teeth! Even if you decide to be stubborn and go to your dance, make sure you'll have a quick out with someone else driving. You really should be sleeping it off :(

Ah I have no driver. It's just novocaine tho - no anesthesia. I'm a little nervous about reacting to the novocaine since my body rejects freaking everything lol. don't have the option of missing dance. I at least have to go even I just watch. But I have rehearsal right after class so I'm gonna try. We'll see how the bleeding goes - the dentist wasn't too thrilled about me going to dance after :p

I'm so nervous!
 
My wisdom teeth were a different experience altogether, or I'd offer encouragement. I had all 4 removed at once under general, they were all impacted, and all 4 developed dry socket afterwards. (My mother thought I was being a baby and didn't take me back to get them looked at until I'd had the dry socket for 3 days. I love torturing her with that now :) ) Actually, I shouldn't have closed the parentheses. This is the same mother who thought my having 6 teeth on top removed at once would be a good idea for an adolescent boy :lol:

The moral: That which doesn't kill us... makes a good story :)

I went out and ate Chinese after my wisdom teeth were taken out. Got some rice stuck in the holes. It hurt bad the next day lol. But I smoked the entire time (biting down on gauze). Even on the way home from the surgery. Guess I just lucked out. Other than the rice in the hole pain....I was good to go.

Gooood Morning All, Looks like an up and down response to everyone.... so hope everyone feels better soon!


Woohoo! Tuesday means Sons of Anarchy after work tonight. This is a big deal for my friends... we usually go to Buffalo Wild Wings order up a bunch of 50 cent wings... get the Beer and sit to watch the show
 
Ugh, sorry to add to the downer fest, but mine is relatively minor. I dropped my wife's car off 8 days ago to get the new transmission. Called today to see if they had an estimated day of completion, and the transmission was shipped to the wrong location. They don't know where it is. So after 8 days, and with Thanksgiving 2 days away, they have yet to begin work on the car. No loaners available. I'm so tired of bumming rides to work!!!

So that wasn't so bad except for an anxiety attack fueled by the epinephrine. :D

I did soak a gauze and put it in the holes to vape but it actually hurts to vape. They had to shoot me a few extra times so I have all these little needle sores.

And I didn't dance. LOL. My teacher was like "yeah, no. you're not dancing." :facepalm:

I have yet to have a company work on\replace a transmission and do a good job(but it always cost a bunch of money). It seems like the vehicle always has quirks afterwards.

Wednesday lunchtime here, slept late cos I stayed up late. Can never get to bed early after ballroom dancing class. Loving it, though prefer the Latin, which is tomorrow night, cha cha cha.

So, big sales coming up for the weekend. I don't actually need anything, but I don't think I can pass up a 40% sale - or whatever it'll be if I don't get up by 8.00am. I will definitely be pre-filling my cart so I don't have to think that early in the morning :laugh: Have a great day/night all.

So, Katz, no Thanksgiving but "Black Friday" sales? Ah, Australia, the "land down under" :) No need to spend hours and hours in the kitchen, just risk life and limb in the sales stampedes :) I can't believe we have sales starting on Thanksgiving now...no time to digest your food, unless you do it waiting in line for the stores to open :p
